In a recent statement, Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), issued a stark warning to President Bola Tinubu regarding the repercussions of Kanu's extraordinary rendition. Ejimakor emphasized that "karma is not merciful" for those implicated in the controversial act, which saw Kanu forcibly returned to Nigeria from Kenya in 2021 under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ejimakor highlighted a pattern of disgrace and downfall among leaders involved in Kanu's case, citing the ongoing crisis in Kenya, where the government has faced significant unrest since allowing Nigeria to extradite Kanu. He also referenced the political fallout experienced by former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was ousted from office amidst scandals, and the negative legacy of Buhari's government, which is widely regarded as one of the worst in Nigeria's history.
The lawyer pointed out that the current Nigerian administration, like its UK counterpart, has resisted calls to release Kanu, resulting in widespread protests across the country. Ejimakor's remarks, shared on social media platform X, serve as a cautionary note to Tinubu, suggesting that failure to address the injustices surrounding Kanu's detention may lead to similar consequences for his government.
Ejimakor concluded with a biblical reference, asserting that divine justice is at play for those who have wronged Kanu, reinforcing the notion that the repercussions of such actions are inevitable. As the situation unfolds, the political landscape in Nigeria remains tense, with citizens actively voicing their dissent against the current administration.
